Question by ?Kazz?: What is the best way or can you get someone psychologically assessed without their knowledge?
I have bipolar 2 and I have been speaking to my mother about my fathers rapidly declining behaviour (maybe I got it from him??) – he is always yelling at my mum – he loses words – he loses track of his own conversations – he is spending money my parents dont really have to spend his most recent purchase a few days ago was apparently $ 1000 on and anvil – I asked my mum what he did that for and she said because he thinks he is going to build a barge.

My parents are going into hospital in just under a month so my mum and donate a kidney to dad (he has been on dialysis for a couple of years now) Im wondering if its possible to talk to the hospital and get them to do a “after surgery counselling” or something like that and assess him then or is there any other way to do it? He is not likely to agree to go and get assessed as there is nothing wrong with him (in his mind)

Im more concerned about my mother as she is falling into a depression trying to live with dad – when he is at dialysis she has great conversations with us but when dad is around she wont talk much at all – she has made jokes about turning up on our doorstep with her bags packed etc.

it is possible to have a predisposition towards this disease that you inherited from your dad. Your method to get him to counseling is good, I think
